Tina,

When you go shopping, don't buy any junk food and sodas. Buy yogurt, lots of fruits, nuts, and some TV dinners like Weight Watchers and lots of juices and milk. When you get hungry, you will just have the healthy food you bought. Start eating what you like the best out of the food you have, maybe fruits, yogurt or cashew nuts.

You won't eat what you don't have available.

Appetite suppressants help, but are not a long term answer.

Dieting takes a LOT of planning and preparation, but trust me, its worth it.

First off -- throw out all your junk food. I know it hurts because its something you've paid for and you feel like you're throwing away money... but it is empowering and the right way to start off your change.

Second -- try eating six smaller meals a day. Always start with breakfast. If you normally dont eat breakfast, have something small. Plan out your meals ahead of time. For example, on your day off, plan your meals for the week, this way you dont have to worry about it every day. Space out your six meals.

For example if you work the 9-5 grind...
Breakfast 7am. Snack 10am. Lunch 1pm. Snack 3pm. Dinner 6pm. Snack 8pm.

Breakfast can be fruit and yogurt, eggwhites or an egg substitute (throw in sauteed veggies or cheese).
Lunch can be a wrap or sandwich or salad... just be conscious of what goes into this.
Dinner can be chicken or fish or a lean red meat with steamed veggies and rice.

Healthy snacks: Fruit (an apple, an orange, banana), almonds (buy snack baggies and count out portions to make sure you dont eat too many!), yogurt, raw veggies, hummus.

If you are a chips and dip person, stock up on veggies and hummus! Its a GREAT substitute. For your fruits and vegetables, try and get as many colors as possible. The different colors mean different nutrients... so you want a variety :)

Just remember if you eat six meals a day, they should be SMALL.

If you feel hungry or the urge to snack after your snacks, try drinking tea. Most dieticians will tell you that green tea is awesome for you... which it is, but if you're not a tea drinker, start with something fun. Chamomile, peppermint, there are a lot of options out there! and if you sweeten it with splenda or sweet'n'low, its almost like a treat.

Warm liquids help you feel full, so try the tea or bullion broth is good too.

Also, drink a lot of water. The rule is something like an 8 oz glass for every 10 lbs you weigh. If you dont like water, put cucumber slices, lemon ring, lime ring, or even grapes in the water! It makes it pretty and almost fun to drink :)

Let me know if this helps you at all.
If you try it and it doesnt work, I have a lot of other tricks up my sleeve :)

Good luck!

You need to eat foods with more fibre that will fill you up more.

Are you actually hungry when you eat? or are you bored or maybe something else...

Emotion eating is the number 1 reason why so many people are overweight these days.

If you want to go onto a popular diet, there is a list of the most successful diets in the web page below.

I hope this info helps, also you might want to look into a book called "fat loss solutions" by Tom Venuto, best book for weight loss in my opinion.

Fruits, veggies and nuts in that order is best.

I had a job where I was always wanting to snack. I would take with me to work, 2 oranges, 3 tomatoes and a special little bag of cleaned and cut veggies. In that bag was cut to bag size celery, baby carrots, and red radishes.

This mix of vegetables made it not boring, if you know what I mean. It would have been hard to enjoy these veggies on a daily basis if it was not a mixed medley. With this system I had to go shopping at least every 3 days because the foods are perishables.

So if you would want to try something like this, be prepared to go shopping 3 times a week to stay on top of it. I wrote an article about the discipline of staying on top of your shopping. Dieting Discipline Tip Many diets fail form not staying ahead of the diet.-----Good Luck!
